Resurrection is the power of vampires, hybrids, witches, and psychics to bring someone or something back from the dead by magical or supernatural means. Resurrection was made possible 2,000 years ago by a witch named Qetsiyah due to her creation of the Other Side, which prevented supernatural souls from truly passing on.
It is stated that there is always a consequence for bringing someone back from the dead, as it is the will of Nature that all living beings must die. However, there are some magical beings who have won against any possible consequence entirely.
